International research collaboration focused on adapting plants for space and improving on Earth sustainability underpinned by an ARC Centre of Excellence.
Great to see Director @IonPlants present at #ELGRA2024 on @plants4space ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space and our ambitious mission to enable space exploration with plants and how this can benefit life on Earth.
🌳 Episode 3 of our Outback To Orbit podcast features Professor Matthew Gilliham (@plants4space) and Lauren Fell (Lunaria One) on growing plants in space, and a trip through the exhibition hall at the 17th @AndyThomasSpace Australian Space Forum.

We've been working with @HennayakaNadun and Gaia Project Australia on a demonstration space farm for NASA. Read about the Deep Space Food competition here: La Trobe finalist in NASA Space Food competition https://t.co/6OeYzVm0YC @plants4space#latrobeuni#latrobeuni via @latrobe
Great reminder of what is ahead, stepping out of the door this morning on my way to the #AUSpaceForum@AndyThomasSpace#ATSF17. The team at @plants4space is developing some important tech for @Nasa#Artemis. Talking at the first session starting 830am if you want to hear more.
I’m very happy to share that our work on programmable and reversible CRISPRi-based circuits in plants is now published in @NatureBiotech.

Here is a summary of our key findings👇
Our new CRISPRi-based synthetic gene circuit platform for programmable, reversible control of gene expression in plants 🌱 @NatureBiotech. A compact and modular logic gate system with useful new capabilities for plant engineering https://t.co/fBxvpWc5AZ
New paper out from @plants4space & @SMS_UWA led by @fkvdg_ looking for RNA editing in an understudied group of plants! Just think how useful this can be for synbio!

Postdoc opportunity in our lab @UniofAdelaide as part of @plants4space to develop #synbio and transformation tools for Wolffia, and applying these tools to cell wall engineering for Space applications #glycotime#plantsci https://t.co/Zm5ZyCJUn4
The @BotGardensSA#MountLoftyBotanicGarden is magnificent this time of year showing off many of the soothing but vibrant autumnal plant-based colours of nature
Australian researchers from @plants4space have been selected to be part of efforts to grow plants on the Moon for @NASA’s Artemis III mission. 🌱🌙
They’re not the only Aussies innovating in this space.
